AVOCADO UPDATE

Avacado and Avocadee chilling

Avocadoes new growth is sprouting very quickly. Almost just as fast as my 3rd plant, Egg.
Avacado is still looking limp and petite. That lower leaf is continuing to wither away and brown. There are no signs of browning on the other leaves, so that's good. I heard this is a deconstruction thing avocado plants do when they're getting rid of old leaves.

I have a feeling Avocadees height with soar once those new leaves grow. Still thinking about pruning.

Egg
More of Egg. IT'S SO TALL! Almost taller than Avocadee!




New Hat (ARS Intersession)

For my school's 2019 Intersession, I joined the Getting Cozy one where all we did was watch movies and knit or crochet. I had an amazing time touching up on my knitting and crochet at the time. I even made 2 new friends. I started this blue hat with some yarn I bought from hobby lobby. I used a ribbed hat pattern I learned last year and I think it looks pretty nice.

AVOCADO UPDATE

DEC 31 2018
Avocadee is growing new leaves! This plant is growing so much faster and healthier than my first one, Avacado. According to my research, you're supposed to prune your plant when it looks like this so it can branch out and look bushy and petite. I didn't know I was supposed to prune my plants until after they grew 6 inches. I feel like puning the plants this early is too harsh anyway, so I'm not going to do any serious pruning until the end of winter.

With all of this avocado knowledge, I'm thinking of writing an E-book about growing them. I did a quick search to see if anyone has published a book like that already, but I didn't find anything. I need to dedicate some of my own time ot do this, and it looks like the next time I'll get some free time will be when I'm done with Winterguard and SAT prep. However, I'll still make time to make monthly updates with my plants.

 I am so passionate about my avocado plants and I want to their progress as much as I can. In order for me to do that, I need a better camera, and more time and motivation. Right now I have neither, so I appreciate your patience.

Another eye-balled pattern. This is the first hat I've made in a very long time!

AVOCADO UPDATE

This is Avocadee and its leaves are getting BIGGER!

Avacado's leaves are still petite, but they've hardened and have that mature-leaf-feel to them. I'm still thinking of pruning it to 6 inches ....

This is Egg, the youngest but largest seed of the Avocado bundle. Its leaves are just beginning to split!
I think Egg is going to have 3 dominant leaves like its big sister, Avacado. You can also see the white fuzzy hairs covering the plant. All of my avocado plants had this fuzz at this stage of their lives, so this is completely normal. They probably won't lose this fuzz until they grow their first true green leaves.
